The novel is compelling and engaging. The narrative is daring, bold, courageous, and, necessarily, delightfully character-driven. Roberta Satow offers the reader the process of her personal journey of becoming a psychoanalyst. What does that process entail? Each psychoanalyst’s journey is unique, befitting the very nature of psychoanalysis, and yet each unique journey shares something in common with every other psychoanalytic journey – it is deeply personal. Thus, Satow’s novel/memoir exploring her own journey must involve describing her own personal issues, her own psychoanalysis, her feelings about, and relationship with, her psychoanalyst, and, ultimately, while working with her supervisor, the process of conducting psychoanalysis with people referred to her while she was attending a psychoanalytic institute. –From the review by Merle Molofsky of Our Time is Up.

“Only very rarely is the elusive magic of psychotherapy captured in novels/films/professional writings. But this brilliant novel/memoir really evokes what it’s like to be a patient/what it’s like to be a therapist. I laughed/I cried/I learned. . . . Must read.”
—Allen James Frances, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences Adult Psychiatry & Psychology Division, Duke University
“This book is a treasure: a memoir-like novel that captures an era, an ethos, and a sociopolitical sensibility Continue reading New From IPBooks: Our Time is Up: A Novel by Roberta Satow

“Dr. Benveniste has taken on a daunting task with elan and intellectual energy, examining Sigmund Freud’s cultural contributions to the discipline he created in the late 19th century through a 21st century lens that is informed by anthropology; biological evolution; scientific interest in the natural world; world cultures; art, literature, mythos; over a century of developments in the field of psychoanalysis, and more. He is a true polymath, with broad interests and the ability to synthesize encyclopedic knowledge with focus and exuberance. A spirit of delight prevails in his scholarly writing and his informed, rigorous theorizing.” Merle Molofsky, book review published in The Psychoanalytic Review, Volume 110, Number 3, September 2023, pp. 351-354.
Libido, Culture, and Consciousness: Revisiting Freud’s Totem and Taboo takes us back to the phylogenetic project of psychoanalysis, leaves behind Freud’s psycho-Lamarckian assumption, and sets out in search of analogous relations between Continue reading Libido, Culture, and Consciousness: Revisiting Freud’s Totem and Taboo by Daniel S.

“The papers in this book range widely over psychoanalysis, literature and philosophy. I will comment on several that grasped my attention. First ‘Freud’s “selected fact”: His Journey of Mourning.’ By identifying Freud’s personal experiences of mourning, Schimmel is able to shine new light on the fact that Freud was always thinking anew about the distressing sorrow of mourning and the possibility of this being Continue reading Newly Revised: Someone Saved My Life Today by Paul Schimmel
